I'm pretty on the fence about Cammy.
On the one hand, I like the idea of him playing top line minutes and sheltering young guys like Sven. Cammy is a real competitor and hates losing, which would be awesome to have as a role model for a lot of the youth in our system.
On the other hand, he's a proven playoff commodity and still has a few years of excellent hockey left in him and would be a great asset come the trade deadline this year. If he puts up really good numbers playing on our top line, he should be able to garner a 1st round pick or a quality prospect from a team looking to load up for the playoffs.
Ideally the team either trades him at the deadline for something decent, or re-signs him as a veteran leader for the team going forward. Worst case scenario is that he plays out this year and walks... which I don't see happening (they traded Iginla instead of losing him for nothing)
